Support for UW Radiology Residents at National Meetings
Arthie Jeyakumar, MD, R4 Resident, attended the “Introduction to Academic Radiology” course at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) meeting in Honolulu last May, and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting in December. At RSNA, she presented an educational exhibit, “Classification of Vascular Anomalies: What’s New?” under the guidance of mentor Dr. Eric Monroe.
Arthie expressed her thanks to donors of the Rohrmann Endowment and felt that both conferences were complementary and strengthened her interest in Academic Radiology.
Jason Hartman, MD, R5 Resident (Chief Research Resident, 2019-2020) was also able to attend RSNA, 2019 thanks to all of those who have generously donated to the Endowment. He stated, “While in Chicago I was able to attend dozens of excellent educational talks, learn about the latest scientific developments, hear international experts debate how we should practice at various ‘controversy sessions,’ and see great talks from many of our own excellent UW attendings!” He is pictured below with his fellow residents, Arthie Jeyakumar and Grace Laidlaw.

Fourth Annual Doug Green Memorial Hike
Each year since 2016, the UW Radiology residents, faculty, and staff have participated in a hike to remember Doug Green. Dr. Douglas Green was a former faculty member in the Body Imaging section, who tragically passed away in a skiing accident in 2016. The Fourth Annual Doug Green Memorial Hike on October 26th was a great success, with a strong turn out to hike the Ira Spring Trail to Mason Lake in Snoqualmie Pass!
We are embarking upon the 10-year anniversary marking initiation of the spark that ignited the Rohrmann Endowment for UW Radiology Resident Educational Excellence! The first three years brought in funding from resident alumni, faculty, and friends of the department to establish this fund. The visionaries behind this initiative were Dr. William P. Shuman and Dr. Mary Kelly.
Many donors honored Dr. William P. Shuman upon the celebration of his recent retirement from UW Radiology. You can join them, by sending in your gift today – a fitting tribute as we start out 2020!
You can either send your check with a notation “in honor of Dr. William P. Shuman” or indicate this with your online donation:

UW Radiology Residents Serve in the Community
Despite Snowmageddon Seattle on February 9th, members of our radiology program embarked on the snowy trip to South Seattle to serve the people most affected by the challenging weather conditions, our homeless community! We worked together with members of the Seattle Union Gospel Mission at the Hope Place Shelter for Women and Children by preparing lunch for those hoping to escape the cold winter weather and have a warm meal. This is the second year our program has participated at this shelter and we hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.
The Seattle Union Gospel Mission has a long history of helping at-risk youth, refugees and the homeless in the Seattle area by providing housing, food, recovery programs and much more. Individuals or groups interested in volunteering at this shelter, or the men’s shelter located in Pioneer Square, should sign up on the Seattle Union Gospel Mission website.
